Throughout the Iliad the gods act as Apollo does here, intervening or refusing to intervene in human affairs on the basis of their own feelings. They are thoroughly unpredictable and do not invoke any particular principles which might justify or at least explain their actions to those seeking some reasonable explanations for what they do. They have their own alliances, anger and jealousies. Check out the source-link article below.

Well i know that gods are usually thought as the big and strong or thinks like that but in ancient times there were kings and queens they were and they were treated like Gods most of the time but I really don't think that God sends people are the same because I got some more powerful and people ever while they're are people that are greedy for money and wants to be like a god but but yet at the same time people and eyes are not the same God's tomorrow shoulder and powerful and can control things and us people don't even know what's going to happen next but they gods are really like already ahead of our thoughts and knows our every move and everything like that but that's the same time people want to be like voodo doing all that other stuff.I really actually suggest that maybe people and gods are not like they're not at all because they're more powerful than people people on Earth don't even know their next move there but what's going to happen but they try to predict the future and hope that it's going to happen and if it doesn't happen then they end upgetting mad or just paying someone to look it up or you know I like do research on it on our next move then what will happen in 2 years do you use for even now like now there is a cone rise out brake and turn on does it have anything to do deaf people think they know what's going to happen next when they don't really know unless you study the Bible.and as a matter of fact even if you do still need about it is he really tell you what's going to happen he does well you told you that the world's going to end in firebut at the same time is showing you as a resource is the first and resources that you ever use to even use or even talk about God's been like people to people are not like that at all at all they they're weaker and stronger but some people have their own Vision suck whatever you think is best you go with it if it doesn't make sense I mean then don't put it but if you think that guys are like people then put the answer you thinkbecause if I don't have an answer for you and if anyone else no one else has an answer for you then you come up you look at back in the story see what you come up with but usually if you're reading a text it would tell you what God's if you guys are like people and what their powers are like but most most stories most stories to tell you what God but what that is about but some stores don't well and light if you having trouble with most stories to tell you what God but what that is about but some stores don't well and light if you having trouble with Batmanthat then maybe you should just go ahead and do some research on it and see what I know my answer isn't the best answer but at least I gave you an acai good idea of how it would be but I know this I can go back and erase all the words that I messed up with but if you can give me a hell chance pleasebut I really know thatdoes not like people people are not like God's and they can't be a God if you made like a God and people most people do food dude andsome people worship statues and monuments and all that but I have nothing to do with thatat the same time it really it really gives you a thought to be left with about it are God's and people the same and how their power ismost people stick with their first persondevastate for someone else to answer unless you actually know that it's right I'm just I'm not going to give you a straight answer cuz I don't really know myselfbut even if I do knowI wouldn't have told you guys any of it I'm just trying to give you guys a good idea about what you should be thinking about that question this is a whole summary
